Herd size: Vermont dairy farms are getting bigger and more efficient

View Comments Nearly half of Vermont dairy farms have 500 or more cows today, compared to nearly half having fewer than 100 cows 40 years ago, according to a report from the state auditor. Doug Hoffer said he investigated trends in Vermont dairy farming to serve as a resource for State policymakers, program managers, and the public as they consider the future of dairy in Vermont and what role public funds should play. Even though Vermont has far fewer dairy farms than it did 40-plus years ago, and fewer cows, milk production is up significantly because of new technologies and farming practices: Vermont produced 2.73  billion pounds of milk from 711 farms in 2017, compared to 1.92 billion pounds of milk from 4,017 farms in 1969.
